Many of these take just minutes to prepare. Others you can prep the night before so you can grab them on your way out the door. All of these are delicious, healthier options that will help you stay focused and productive at work.

2. Broiled Grapefruit

As mentioned above, your brain runs on glucose. But the refined sugars found in foods like pastries will send you towards a mid-morning crash.

What you want are complex carbs, and this simple, delicious breakfast has them in spades.

Super easy…

Turn on broiler.

Cut grapefruit in half.

Mix 1.5 Tbsp. coconut sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix together.

Smooth a thin layer of coconut oil over grapefruit and sprinkle with cinnamon mixture.

Place grapefruit on foil lined baking sheet and broil for 2 – 3 minutes until sugar is bubbling. Enjoy!

3. Bounce Balls

No preparation required for this delicious grab and go breakfast snack created by husband and wife team Paula and Andy Hannagan. Bounce Balls are 100% natural, gluten and GMO free, and contain up to 9 grams of protein. Try these and you’ll see why their motto is eat good, feel good, do good.

4. Frozen Banana and Peanut Butter Smoothie

Smoothies are a great way to get all the nutrients you need in the morning in one go. Prep this sweet and creamy concoction the night before so you can hit the blender before you hit the ground running in the a.m. The protein-rich hemp seeds also make this a great post-workout drink.

5. Berry Chia Parfait

This antioxidant-rich treat is all about the berries. It starts with a foundation of berry smoothie, followed by a layer chia seed pudding, and topped with more fruit, granola, and delicious Dang coconut chips.

6. Raw Buckwheat and Blueberry Porridge

This is another great recipe to make the night before, so you can just grab on your way out the door.

Buckwheat definitely deserves the “superfood” status. It’s a cheap, versatile, and gluten-free source of protein. It’s also iron rich and known to reduce lipid levels in the blood, which is great for your heart.

8. Chia Pudding

Ch-ch-ch-chia!

Who knew that the pottery that grows was really a world-class superfood in disguise? Chia seeds are whole grain, and therefore a great alternative to processed grains.

Chia seeds and coconut milk make for a Paleo-friendly pairing in this satisfying breakfast treat high in anti-inflammatory omega-3s. This is another recipe you can make the night before to save yourself time in the morning.

You’ll need:

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 cup light or full-fat coconut milk

1/2 Tbsp. honey

Mix chia seeds, coconut milk, and honey together in a small bowl or glass. Let it set in refrigerator overnight.

Remove from the fridge, and make sure your pudding looks thick and the chia seeds have gelled. Top with fresh fruit and nuts, and enjoy immediately.

It really is that easy.

9. Blueberry Chia Overnight Oats

Overnights oats are a cool and refreshing twist on hot cereal. Best enjoyed on those warm summer mornings. This recipe from Earnest Eats only takes about a minute to prepare:

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, then whisk together eggs, milk and oil in a small bowl.

Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until evenly blended.

Pour into a lightly greased 9×5 bread loaf pan and bake for 20-22 minutes until set.

Cool before slicing into 8 squares

11. Munk Pack Oatmeal Squeeze

Another great quick and healthy option, Munk Packs power your mornings with clean energy form hearty oatmeal and real fruit.

Munk Packs are minimally processed, and free of the sugars and fillers you find in most breakfast bars and snacks. Their convenient pouch packaging means you can eat on the go as well.

12. Paleo Carrot Cake Donuts

I’ll admit it, I LOVE donuts. I just don’t love the way they make me feel afterward, nor am I crazy about the effect they have on my mood and mental state.

These Paleo Carrot Cake Donuts provide all the decadence of a traditional donut, without the crash (or the guilt).

This one comes from Thunderbird Bars, the Austin-based makers of pure, clean, and sugar free energy bars.

For the donuts you’ll need :

3/4 cup almond flour

2 Tbsp. coconut flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. Himalayan sea salt

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

1/4 tsp. Ginger

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Pinch of clove powder

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1/2 cup shredded carrot

1/2 cup chopped dried figs

2 eggs

6 Tbsp. coconut oil

6 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sift all dry ingredients together in one bowl, and combine all wet ingredients in another.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry, mix thoroughly, and then fold in the shredded carrots and figs.

Pour batter into donut mold (fill each mold 3/4 full).

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until donuts are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from oven and allow to completely cool before frosting.

For the frosting you’ll need:

1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight and drained

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

4 Tbsp. coconut butter

2 Tbsp. water to thin, if necessary.

Process all ingredients in a food processor or high-powered blender.

Once donuts are cool, dip each one into frosting and return to cooling rack to let frosting set.

Top each donut with crushed walnuts and shredded coconut, if desired. Makes eight donuts.

13. 7 Grain Goat Cheese Crackers

Here’s another quick recipe from Namasteslimmer’s Alex McInnes that you can prepare in a pinch.

Take 4 Wasa Crisp’n Light 7 Grain Crackers, and top with 2 tbsp Honey Goat Cheese, and finish with sliced strawberries, mango, or blueberries. Easy, delicious, and very nutritious.

14. Greek Yogurt Bowl of Beauty

This nutritious and satisfying treat is as simple as it gets. Take 6 oz of nonfat plain Greek Yogurt and top with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and kiwi. Sprinkle in 1 tsp of Health Warrior black chia seeds and Justin’s Honey Peanut Butter Blend. Bam! Breakfast bliss in a bowl.

16. Peanut Butter Whole Wheat Waffle + Strawberry or Banana

Heat one Trader Joe’s whole wheat waffle in toaster. Cover with smooth peanut or almond butter and top with your choice of fruit. Banana is a great compliment to the nutty butter.

17. Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Egg Breakfast Burrito

If you associate breakfast burritos with greasy spoon diners and massive food comas, you haven’t tried this healthy version made for endurance athletes. The sweet potatoes taste great and are packed with nutrients.

Bonus – these burritos are freezer friendly. Make them in batches and you’ve got breakfast for the entire week.

35. Great Grains Granola Snack Mix: Cranberries Nuts + Seeds

What’s more – instead of artificial sweeteners, the folks at Great Grains gently crack the whole wheat berry and add a mix of grains to give their flakes a naturally hearty flavor, then add fruits and nuts for added sweetness.

The finished product is crispy, tasty, and less processed whole grain cereal, and every serving contains 9g of protein and 4g fiber.

All of those look so good. The challenge is getting up early enough to make breakfast. The overnight oats are a great idea for people who would rather sleep an extra few minutes than get up for breakfast! 🙂

Wow, wow, wow! There are SO many amazing recipes on here (easy ones too!). This has to be the hardest meal for me to think of good healthy ideas for my family and I, and now I have a one-stop place to click on to get ideas. Thank you for this post! Now I’m hungry 😉

I can’t decide which breakfast dish I like best. Between the Cherry Tomato Avocado Toast, Mayan Brekkie Bake, Paleo Carrot Cake Donuts, Strawberry French Toast in a Mug, Tropical Green Smoothie Bowl, and Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal, I can NOT decide which one to try first. They all look so pretty that I may be too afraid to mess them up by eating them, although I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to resist having a taste (or demolishing the entire plate). Now, if only I can find the extra time to make breakfast in the morning..

I love fruit so I would like to try the Frozen Banana and Peanut Butter Smoothie, Berry Chia Parfait, Raw Buckwheat and Blueberry Porridge, Breakfast Banana Split, Tropical Green Smoothie Bowl, Coconut Crepes with Lime Sugar and Yogurt, Berry Coconut Breakfast Smoothie Bowls, Gluten Free Strawberry French Toast in a Mug. There is so much to try! Thanks for these awesome ideas!
